V-TYPE BELT.
Ap plication filed May' 22, 1922 Serial No. 562,647.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MILTON O. REEVES, a citizen of the United States, residing at C- lumbus, in the county of Bartholomew and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful V-Type Belt, of which the followin is a specification.
It is the main object of my invention to provide in a V-type cross-bar belt a joint which will have the same strength and the same flexibility as the remainder of the belt and which Will not interferegwith the frictional contact of the ends of any of the crossbars with the tapered flanges of the associated pulleys. L In attaining this object,.l overlap upon each other over a cross-bar the two ends of the strip of belt material tobe interconnected to form the joint, and fasten both of. such overlapping ends-to such cross-bar, but not to each other savesubstantial'ly at their line of fastening to such cross-bar, so that they are free to bend independently; and I make such cross-bar below the double thickness of belt material sufiiciently shorter at the top than is the neighboring cross-bar which lies beneath only the upper of the two overlapping layers of belt material so that the oblique ends of both of said cross-bars will prefer to make at least several cross-bars on each side of the two cross-bars above referred to of successively increasing and decreasing 3 lengths at the top, those beneath the layer The accompanying drawings illustrate myinvention: Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a straight portion of a belt embodying my in-- 0 I to'form segments of cylin ers, of suificiently vention', partiallyin section on a line of lie in substantially the same plane; and I' of belt material which forms the lower layer' forms the upper layer'at the overlap being a fragment L of a belt embodying a modified form of my invention, shown partly in position around a pulley; Fig. 4 is a plan of a straight portion of the belt shown in Fig. 3; and Fig. 5 is a fragmental side elevation of a form of my invention in which cross-bars are used on both the inside and outside of thebelt.
The belt consists fundamentally of a strip of belt material 10, such as leather or woven fabric, attached to a series of spaced crossbars 11, which may be all on one side of the belt (the inside as shown) as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4, or may be in pairs on opposite sides of the belt as shown in Fig. 5. The double-bar arrangement shown in Fig. 5 is an obvious modification, and for simplicity it will in general be suflicient to describe the single-bar arrangement shown'in the other figures.
The belt material 10 is fastened to the cross-bars 11 by screws or bolts 12, which are'shown as wood screwsin Figs..1 to 4 inelusive and bolts in Fig. 5. -In the singlebar arrangementof Figs. 1 to t inclusive there are clamping plates 13 on the opposite side of the belt material 10 from the crossbars 11, and in the double-bar arrangement of Fig. 5 the outer cross-bars serve as and take the place of such clamping plates in addition to their other functions. In order to "ease the strain on the screws 12 and on the 14 which bite into the surface of the belt I material 10 these are especially desirable at the cross-bar upon which the two thicknesses -of belt material overlap, hereinafter particularly referred to. These points are preferably located only close to the line of thetwo or more screws 12 whichfasten each cross- Fig. 1, as only there do the plates 13 remain constantly in contact with such belt material. The outer surfaces 15 of the cross-bars 11 (or I bar 11 to the belt materiallO, as is clear from of the inner cross-bars in the double-bar arrangment of Fig. 5) are referably curved,
' Y I 1,i46,018
small radius to correspond with the minimum radius of curvature the belt will have in its operation. The belt material 10 swings cal with respect to the line of screws 12 on each' cross-bar, as is .shown in Fig. 1',
' as is especially suitable for belts'in which the direction of travel is reversible; or they may be unsymmetrical with respect to such line, with their projecting'edges'in advance, as is shown in Figs. 3 and 4:, as is suitable for belts which travel only in one direction, so that such projecting edges of the clamping plates will serve to prevent reverse bending of thebelt as it is pulled out from between the taper flanges 16 of the pulley. This. latter arrangement of clamping plates is specifically claimed per se in m copending application, Serial No. 526,573, filed J'anuary3, 1922.
The taper flanges 16 of the pulley are engaged by the ends of the cross-bars 11.
Such ends are therefore tapered to correspond to the taper of such flanges, as is clear from Fig. 2; so that by moving the flanges toward orfrom each other the belt is pushed radially outward or allowed to come radially inward on the pulley, thus varying the effective diameter of the pulley. F or getting a proper frictional grip on the pulley flanges, ll preferably provide the ends of the cross-bars with frictional faces 17, preferably made of leather held on by tacks 18 as well as by being glued.
To make a joint in this belt, it is desirable that the belt at the joint be of the same strength and flexibility as the remainder of the belt, and that the engagement of the ends 17 of the cross-bars 11 with the pulley flanges 16 be not interfered with. According to my present invention, 1 overlap the two ends of the strip of belt material over one cross-bar, the cross-bar 11 so that the attaching screws 12 of such cross-bar pass through the two layers of belt material formed by such overlapping and clamp such two layers together between such cross-bar ll and the clamping plate 13.. The clamping plate 13 bears against the outer of these two layers, and the belt-gripping points 14 of such clamping plate bite into such outer layer close to the screws 12. The inner layer of belt material over the cross-bar 11 is preferably attached to such cross-bar by tacks 21, located close to the end of the strip, between such end and the attaching screws 12, as is clear from Fig. 1, to strengthen the attachment and so that the end portion beyond the screws 12 will not bend in operation and will never leave the surface 15 of such cross-bar. In the same way, if desired, in the double-bar arrangement of Fig. 5, the end portion of outer layer of belt material over the crossbar 11 may be attached to the cooperating outer cross-bar 11 by tacks 22, located close to the end of the outer layer, between such end and the attaching bolts 12, as is clear from Fig. 5, as such end portion beyond the bolts 12 does not bend in operation and never needs to leave the inner surface of the cross-bar 11 The inner layer on the opposite side of the screws or bolts 12 from the tacks 21 swings into and out of engagement with the surface 15 of the crossbar 11 but by the bending of only a single thickness of belt material; and the outer layer on the opposite side of the screws or bolts 12 from the tacks 22 swings into and out of engagement with the inner surface of the cross-bar 11 or of the clamping plate 13, and with the outer curved surface of the end portion ofthe inner layer, but-'by the bending of only a single thickness of belt material. Thus between the cross-bar 11 and the adjacent cross-bars, the belt has both the strength and the flexibility of only a single thickness of belt material, for only such a single thickness transmits the pull of the belt, and only such a single thickness bends in the operation of the belt.
If all the cross-bars were of the same dimensions throughout the offsetting between the cross-bar 11 (or 11 and 11 and cessity for a greater bending of the belt. This lifting to obtain such engagement. tendency would exist in the single-bar arrangement of Figs. 1 to 4: for at least the adjacent cross-bar 11 under the outer strip of belt material; and in the double-bar arrangement shown in Fig. 5 for at least both the pair of crow- bars 11 and 11 at the overlap and and the next adjacent pair of crossbars l1 and'll cooperating withthe outer layer of belt material. Therefore, in order that all the cross-bars of the belt may be inproper frictional engagement with the flanges16,l make the cross-bar 11 which is below the overlap shorter (transversely of the belt) at its outer surface than is the adj acentcross-bar 11 lying beneath only the adjacent cross-bar 11 and the frictionalsurfaces at the ends of the cross-bar 11 will be in the same plane when the belt is straight,
and on the surface'of the same cone when face. In the same way, where outer crossthe belt is curved, as are those at the ends of the cross-bar 11 This is clear from Figs. 1, 2, and 4; the cross-bar 11 in Fig. 2' being partly broken away at one end to show the adjacent cross-bar 11 behind it, with the frictional surfacesof such two cross-bars in the same plane.
Inv the same way, there is a reverse oifsetting between the outer cross-bars in the double-bar arrangement, between the outer cross-bar 11 and the adjacent outer crossbar 11 cooperating with the strip forming the innerstrip at the point. The inner surface of the cross-bar 11", therefore, is-made sufficiently shorter than the inner surface of the cros-bar ll so that the outer ends of such two cross-bars lie in the same plane when the belt is straight, so that both will have proper frictional engagement with v the pulley flanges 16.
Thus for both the inner cross-bars. and the outer cross-bars, there is a suitable'variation in length between the overlapped cross-bar and that adjacent which cooperates with that layer. of
belt material which is spaced from the overlapped cross-bar by an interposed layer of belt material, to compensate for such interposition. Y t
In addition to this ofi'setting between, the inner cross-bars 11 and 11 and between the outer crow- bars 11 and 11 in the double-bar arrangement, I prefer to make a. gradual variation in cross-bar length atv the belt-adjacent surface for at least several cross-bars on each side 'of the overlap. Theoretically, this gradual variation should extend completely around the belt, starting for the inner cross-bars with the cross-bar 11 as the shortest on its outer surface and having the cross-bars of gradually increasing length to the right (Figs. 1 an 4) around the belt until the inner cross-Ibajr 11? is reached, where the length of the outer surface of the cross-bar is the greatest; In practice, however, I- find it suflicient if this gradual variation is continued only for several cross-bars, preferably on each side of the overlap, although good results can be obtained if the gradual variation is on only one side of the overlap and continues for several cross-bars until a cross-bar length is. reached substantially corresponding to'that at the other end of the entire se'riesof crosbars. In the arrangement indicated the cross-bar 11 is the shortest of the mner cross-bars, with respect to its outer surface, and the cross-bars toward the right (Figs. 1, 3, 4, and '5) are of gradually increasing bars, with respect to-its outer surface, and
the cross-bars toward the left'are of grad ually decreasing length on their; outer surcross-bar cross-bars toward the right.
By this arrangement, the joint is made in 7 either the single-bar arrangement or the double-bar arrangement without interfering with the proper frictional engagement of the ends of all the cross-bars with the pulley flanges, and without requiring any greater bending of'thebelt at one point than at another, while still maintaining the belt of uniform strength and uniform flexibility throughout its length.
